Purification starts by heating the sand with a reducing agent, carbon, to produce carbon monoxide and silicon. The product of this process, known as metallurgical grade silicon (MG-Si), may be as much as 99% pure. Additional processing is completed until ultrapure electronic grade silicon (EG-Si) is obtained. In addition to being very pure, …

Step One – Silicon Rocks melted to an ingot. Silicon is the second-most abundant element – after oxygen – in the earth's crust. To make use of silicon in the generation of solar energy, it first has to go through a purifying process. At this stage the silicon is in the form of sand or silicon dioxide, usually made from crushed quartz rock.

The silicon in solar panels is manufactured through a reduction process in which the silica is heated with a carbon material and the oxygen is removed, leaving behind purer, metallurgical-grade silicon. From there, the grade must be further purified into polysilicon, the solar-grade purity of which is 99.999 percent.

All silicon crystalline solar cells are made using a very thin wafer of base silicon with the two main types being P-type and N-type. These are made when the silicon is 'doped' with specific chemical elements to create a positive (p-type) or negative (n-type) charge. The chemical elements used for doping are either phosphorous which creates ...
